One of my passions is growing our food and my Everlasting flowers. This old gray mare ain't what she use to be. Anymore by the time I get done weeding on my knees, or bent-in-to... from working my gardens... lordy be I feel broke ..lol Oh dear... so that's going to cease. Not gardening, of course. My goal is to continue growing our foods, so.. these containers will be the beginning to my new raised beds.

I had a large raised flower bed where I used to live. The former owner worked for the telephone company, and was able to get free used telephone poles, so he cut them like stakes, about 2 1/2 feet high, and built a "fence" up against the hillside with them, and filled it with dirt. I had a lot of work to do when I moved in...a huge tree root had grown right into the bed. Lots of cutting and rototilling for me...that's how I ended up with arthritis in my collarbone.
@4meAndyou I know all about Arthur! I'm hoping these raised beds will help me work less. No more tilling, hoeing and less likelihood of crawling insects.
